Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for loading film on machines for wrapping products.
  • Current wrapping or banding machines for groups of products consist basically of a table for the groups of products (which may be rotary or fixed) and a structure that mounts the film feed means .
  • This mounting structure may (in the case of a rotary table) consist of a simple vertical column on which a film feed unit runs in both directions or (usually, in the case of a fixed table) it may be equipped with horizontal arms or prongs that rotate around the group of products .
  • the film feed means consist of a film roll rotatably mounted on a vertical shaft connected to a plate that forms part of a carriage that mounts the film feed means.
  • a plate that forms part of a carriage that mounts the film feed means.
  • rollers also vertical, connected to the plate and designed to guide the film and keep it stretched as it is fed towards the group of products.
  • the film feed unit To correctly stretch the film being fed so that it does not slip on the rollers and so that, in particular, the width of the film band is not reduced (thus cancelling the film weight reducing effect) , it is necessary to provide at least one pair of additional rollers, driven by independent motors so as to have different peripheral speeds, placed very close to each other and with the wrapping film making a very large angle round the two rollers.
  • the film feed unit In addition to the existing structure of the feed means, the film feed unit must be equipped with a large number of closely spaced rollers on the film feed carriage.
  • Another solution designed to solve the above mentioned problem was to divide the mounting carriage into two parts, a fixed part and a moving part, that can rotate about a horizontal or vertical pivot axis . In this way, the operator can load the film by turning the moving part and feeding the end of the film into the free area from the fixed part.
  • the disadvantage of the second solution is that the carriage is larger and heavier because it is divided into two and thus requires suitable lifting means and increases the production costs of the unit. Moreover, in this solution, the rollers must be placed further apart and the angles of the wrapping film round the rollers must be reduced, thus reducing the quality of the pre- stretching operation. Disclosure of the Invention
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages by providing a device and related method for loading film on wrapping machines which simplifies the stage of inserting the film without substantially modifying the structure of the standard feed carriage already used on wrapping machines .
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view, with some parts cut away in order to better illustrate others, of the carriage shown in
  • FIG. 3 shows, in a top plan view, the feed and pre- stretching path followed by the film on the feed carriage illustrated in previous figures;
  • - Figure 4 is a schematic front view of two pre-stretch rollers forming part of the feed carriage illustrated in the previous figures .
  • Figure 1 a device for loading film according to the present invention is used on machines, whether automatic or semiautomatic, for wrapping groups of palletized products .
  • Machines of this type comprise a frame 1 that mounts a unit 2 for preparing and feeding the film 3 to be wrapped around the group of products (not illustrated) .
  • the feed unit 2 comprises a carriage 4 that rotatably mounts a roll 5 of film 3 that can turn freely about a vertical axis Z.
  • rollers Close to the roll 5, there is a plurality of rollers: in the preferred embodiment described here, two of these rollers, labelled 6 and 7, are used to pre-stretch the film 3 before wrapping the products, are driven independently of each other by separate motors and rotate about their axes Zl and Z2 which are parallel to the axis Z of the roll 5; the numerals 14 and 15 indicate two idle guide rollers designed to enable the film 3 to be properly unwound before and after it passes between the pre- stretch rollers 6 and 7.
  • Both the rollers 6 and 7 and the guide rollers 14 and 15 are connected at both ends to the carriage 4 at positions such as to allow the film 3, having a defined width L, to move along a feed path defined by a part of their lateral or contact surfaces 6s, 7s, 14s, 15s (the path is illustrated in Figure 3).
  • each of the pre-stretch rollers 6 and 7 there is an area H designed to allow the free passage of the film 3, said area H being defined by a direct extension of each pre- stretch roller 6 and 7.
  • the extension is tapered in relation to the circumference of the pre-stretch rollers.
  • the film 3 can pass freely through the area H when it has a narrow configuration, in the form of a tongue C, and when it is necessary to load the film onto the machine (because the film is broken or the roll is finished) by inserting a free end 3a of the film 3 and feeding it along a path (indicated by the arrow P in Figure 3) parallel to the previously mentioned feed path.
  • the free passage area H comprises means 8 on which the tongue C being unwound can slide and which guide the tongue onto the contact and sliding surfaces 6s, 7s of the pre-stretch rollers 6, 7 so as to be able to stretch the film 3 when the rollers are started up again (as described in more detail below) .
  • these guide and slide means 8 are formed from the above mentioned extensions of the pre-stretch rollers 6 and 7.
  • the mounting carriage 4 consists of a first, lower horizontal plate 9 and a second, upper horizontal plate 10, to which the rollers 6, 7, 14 and 15 and the roll 5 are linked.
  • the plates 9 and 10 are both connected to a structure 11 that mounts and drives the carriage 4 and that is built into the machine frame 1.
  • the guide means 8 on the structure of the carriage 4 are placed between the second, upper plate 10 and the corresponding top end 6a and 7a of each pre-stretch roller 6 and 7.
  • the guide and slide means 8 of the tongue C consist of a reel 12 and 13 for each roller 6 and 7.
  • Each reel 12 and 13 has the shape of a double truncated cone, so as to create a minimum diameter area 12a and 13a at the centre of each reel, which forms a horizontal sliding surface for the tongue C, and at least one area 12b, 13b below the passage area, angled outwards to form a inclined surface that connects with the corresponding roller 6 and 7 and guides the tongue C towards the corresponding roller 6 and 7.
  • Each reel 12 and 13 is keyed to the corresponding roller 6 and 7 with screw means 16 so that it can turn together with the shaft when the film 3 is being extended.
  • the method to load the film 3 on the pre- stretch rollers 6 and 7 using the device just described comprises the following steps:
  • the device made as described above and the related method therefore achieve the above mentioned aims through a simple mechanism which can be applied without substantially modifying the structure of the standard feed carriage already used on wrapping machines, since the special shape of the reels not only enables the tongue to feed along its path but also allows the film to slide onto the rollers without the operator's having to work on the film manually.
  • the present invention may be subject to numerous modifications and variations, all encompassed by the original design concept. Moreover, all components may be replaced with technically equivalent parts.

Abstract

Ce dispositif de mise en place de film (3) sur des machines à emballer comporte une zone (H) autorisant un libre passage du film (3), laquelle zone se trouve entre un chariot d'entraînement (4) et l'une des extrémités (6a, 7a) de chaque cylindre d'alimentation (6, 7). Cette zone est définie par un prolongement des cylindres (6, 7), prolongement dont la circonférence est réduite par rapport à celle des cylindres. Le film (3) passe librement lorsqu'il est étroit, en forme de languette (C), et lorsque son extrémité libre (3a) s'insère dans une trajectoire d'amenée (P) parallèle à une trajectoire d'amenée d'origine. Cette zone (H) est pourvu de dispositifs (8) sur lesquels la languette coulisse et qui la guident, la maintenant au contact des surfaces de glissement (6s, 7s) des cylindres (6, 7). L'invention concerne également un procédé de mise en place du film (3).
